And I haven't exactly been dead to the world, just... immersed. I've been drowning in bills and life, trying to figure out which way is up, and which is down, and how to get my life back on track.

My divorce was finalized back in June-- on my anniversary to be exact-- and although I've been separated from him for a long time, it's taking me time to get used to the fact that I don't have that one person anymore. I've moved again, for the third time in a little over a year and a half, and am currently back home once more. I'm just hoping to pull myself out of this rut that I'm in financially.

Of course, it would be so much easier if I didn't have this crazy addiction to Renaissance Festivals... lol. I've been four times so far this year; twice to Kentucky's, and twice to Ohio's, and I shall probably be returning next weekend as well, however I won't have the money to spend, but it's my escape.

I miss you all so much.. Rave, Yoli, Chasi... I hope you haven't forgotten me, because I can't forget any of you. I pray that you're all doing well, and that things are playing in your favor. I love you all dearly.

I really can't believe that its already been an entire year.

I just got my dA last January and here it is all over again.

I know its been a long time since I've written here or anything, but I've been so incredibly busy and I hope that everyone understands, and I'm sure that we're honestly all so wrapped up in whats going on in our everyday lives that sometimes its hard to just find a few minutes for yourself.. (Wow, talk about your run-ons!) But, no, its really amazing when you sit back and remember all of the good times and the bad of the past year, and-- hopefully-- the good outweigh the bad.

My year was full of its ups and downs for sure. From my ex-husband deploying to Iraq, my coming back to Ohio, to my asking him for a divorce, all while trying to find a job that I enjoyed enough to stay at. He's back from Iraq, I have some of the most amazing friends that any girl could ask for-- they're my strength, and I'll tell you what: they keep me sane. I got three tattoos this year, my first one included. One of my best friends found out that she is pregnant and they heard the baby's heartbeat for the first time the other day. I was asked to be the godmother too, so you can only imagine how excited I am

I've become addicted to Family Guy and I'm moving up the food chain at work, since I'm a server trainer now. I'm seriously debating whether or not I want to get into management or not. We'll see how the next few months go.

The Renaissance Festival was a big deal to me (as I'm sure we all know.. hahaha), and I enjoyed myself immensely. Its going to be even crazier next year, especially since my biological father and his friends are building up their own Faire, and if it takes off, I've already been asked to be a manager at it; well, the Stable Manager anyhow. Or Assistant manager. I don't know. It'll be fun though I think.

But, yes.. If you've made it to the end of this, I don't know whether to congratulate you or feel sorry for you for reading all of my boring thoughts lol..



I miss everyone so much.. I'm dying to talk to every one of you.. Not to mention I'm fiending for a roleplay!

Much love to everyone, and I hope that you all had a very Merry Christmas and an outrageously fun! -- but safe!-- New Years!

I've just been so busy its insane. Still working at the Lobster, waiting on some of the worst people out there. Oh well. I moved at the very end of August into my apartment with my friend Lindsey. So far so good Princess has adjusted I think, but she needs a companion.. She's been going a bit stir crazy here lately. I would like to get a dog, the companionship and not to mention the fact that my ass will actually go for walks every single day (which I need to do). So yeah. Haha.

Dragons have been dancing in my head lately, trying to claw their way onto paper.. I'm hoping that I'm able to get a few more out.. I want to start drawing again. No, scratch that. I need to start drawing again. Dragons, faeries, my furries, anything! And start taking more pictures too xD Especially of the faire. Lots and lots. I'm going Sunday with Marti, her boyfriend Josh, her friend Becca and Becca's four-year-old daughter, and my biological dad, Bill. Its gonna be a fun time! I'm gonna try and take as many pictures as I can and upload 'em.

Alrighty.. Now I'm rambling. Ahah. I'm done xD I'd be surprised if anyone actually read this far, considering I haven't said a lot ._.

I love Army of Darkness. All hail Bruce Campbell!! xD Okay. Officially done now, lol.

I've asked him for the divorce.
I'm looking for an apartment with one of my friends right now.
I have two jobs currently, going for a third one here in about two weeks I think.
I also bought a new car back in May.
Its a 2003 Pontiac Grand Prix SE.
Its purrrtay!
I drive waaaaaaay too much though.
I'm still around, although not drawing like I want to be.
I've hit a writer's block as well, and I have no clue how to break through it.
I'm trying though!

I love you all, and miss you so damn much! <3

Hugs and Love to everyone!

My husband's been deployed now.
I've been alone for the past few nights.
I'm doing okay.
I think.
There's a lot of packing that I still need to finish.
Anyone need a bed or a couch?
Lol.
I'll give it to ya, but you need to come get it
Dishes too

]]> ~linakins http://linakins.deviantart.com/journal/12266077/ http://linakins.deviantart.com/journal/12266077/ Wed, 21 Mar 2007 00:42:52 PDT I've been spending the past few hours looking at some of my old journal entries..
Its amazing how much a person grows from the ages of 15-16, from 16-18, and from 18 to my current age which is rapidly approaching 22.

Its crazy to look at all of the people who've come and gone through those years, and those who've stayed.
Its weird to see what a horny little bastard you were.. and possibly still are.

To see all of those people who loved you, and were your best friends; those who've come and gone too... And even more amazing, some of those who've stayed.

And its heartbreaking too, to come to realize that the people you love, even though you've not been able to talk to them for some time, basically come to despise you..

Its just tough.

I miss the old me though...
I miss the me who didn't give a fuck about what people thought about me.
I miss the me who always tried for what she wanted.
I just miss me.

Sooo... I can't open my mouth very far.
Nor can I smile very much.
It hurts like a bitch.

I still have two more days off of work so far too.
Huzzah for that anyhow ^^

Wasn't a great prognosis, but it coulda been worse.
Nine cavities. All four of my wisdom teeth need to be pulled.
I got two fillings yesterday, and she didn't file one down all of the way.
So it hurts.
-shrugs- oh well.
I go back next Wednesday to get the rest of it all done.

Is this normal? Or maybe just irrartional fears that are starting to finally take hold of me. Please, just ignore this entry, its more for my own sanity than for anything else. I'm married as most everyone knows.. His ex-girlfriend, his first love, and well just his first, wrote him a few days ago. As far as I knew, that was all that he had written her. I have his phone today. I went to write my best friend a message. I saw this one that had been left behind "Don't write me back just email". The most recent number that it was sent to was her. He also changed his password to his email. This is killing me inside.. I don't know what to do or what to say. I was also put on anti-depressants today. I've needed to be on them for years. I just haven't. Should I even bother with her anymore? Is she ever going to go away? Or am I literally doomed to have her haunt my marriage..?

I just don't know anymore.. I don't even know if I even care..

I worked the lunch shift yesterday, and what happened maybe two hours into it?? I smashed my thumb with some plates. And not the little plates; the big, oval, ceramic plates which feel like they can crush your hand if they fall on it wrong type of plates. -sigh- My poor little squashed thumb. My right one too.. you outta see me try to write. I look like a damn monkey trying to grip the pen. >< Went to the hospital, thought it might be broke, but I just brusied the bone really bad, they can me some painkillers, drilled two holes into my thumbnail, and sent me home after waiting for six hours. Stupid doctors. You'd swear they'd wanna show that they actually care about their patients..

Oh! But on to the good news, my husband and I went to Best Buy, we bought a cable modem and a scanner! -grins- Now I get to subject you all to my wonderfully craptastic sketches!! Lol. And we'll officially be getting the internet installed on Thursday xD

And the only good thing about my thumb? I got a doctor's note and two free days off of work this week ^_^

A majority of my art will probably be based around my lupe characters, since they are what I enjoy drawing the most. Maybe every once in a great while I'll be struck with an inspiration for something completely different.


PS. I found something to use for my avvie right now >.< Its old, and it belonged to one of my very very old characters from quite a while ago... I'll edit it eventually. And my husband and I are going to be getting the 'net hopefully by this weekend!! then I'll be back on aim and neo ^_^

Miss you all,
~Lina
